What I'd like is an easy way to keep my notes synced on my laptop and my android phone. I suppose I could install git on my phone and do it that way, but maybe there's a less faffy way I'm missing?

Of course, you may experience some conflicts, but that's why you can pay them not to worry about that. Totally worth the price for me, though I do have a permanent discount ($5/month, as does everyone that signed up before Sep 30th).

#24Obsidian is great. I'm a paying supporter (catalyst and sync). Weirdly I started playing with Emacs + org-mode recently (never been an Emacs user before!) and I'm seriously considering making it my exclusive "second brain".

User of Obsidian here. I don't see why that would be problematic. You can name each folder/note what ever you want. I guess you could also write a plugin for Obsidian that would do this for you. I don't really see the need for numbering though. Obsidian has a very robust system for tagging and linking together notes. Coupled with proper search, I can always find what I need. I do store my notes in a hierarchical cont…

And I'd ask, still, is is unnecessarily hierarchical? If you only have 10 categories below "20 Finance", why not just stick the (maximum) 10 categories under 20-29 in the top level? You'd still have the conceptual grouping under 2x, but without the indirection.
